Qml Desktop Components using StyleItems. What is it? Can I change it?

[hansotronic]

Hey guys,

i am playing around with the Qml Components for the desktop and I would like to adapt their behavior to create my own custom components. The thing I don't understand is where the StyleItem element comes from or where it is located. I imagine that it is some kind of system-specific item library that is created during installation of the components and that defines their look.

So my question:

Is it possible to replace these StyleItems with my own custom components so that i can create os independent components while maintaining the original behavior?

thank you guys

It's in src/qstyleitem.{h,cpp} of the Components source bundle.

They already are system independent. Their look is taken from the active QStyle (at least that's what I'd expect). So if you want a custom look then implement your own QStyle subclass.
